BELGRADE - Patriarch Porfirije and all archbishops of the Serbian Orthodox Church on Thursday urged the international community to ensure to Kosovo-Metohija Serbs the same universal freedoms that ethnic Albanians and all other people in the world have.

As Tanjug learns from the well-informed church circles, the special meeting is a possibility even though the Church's stance "on the issue remains clear and unchanged".

The Church's position, announced after the May meeting, is that Serbia must not lose Kosovo.

The new official name of the Serbian Orthodox Church (SPC) will be the Serbian Orthodox Church - the Patriarchate of Pec, a reference for the Patriarchate of Peja in Kosovo territory, Gazeta Express writes.

BELGRADE - An initiative to renovate the buildings of the Serbian Orthodox Patriarchate of Pec has been launched at a recent meeting of Norwegian Ambassador to Serbia Arne Sannes Bjornstad and the head of the Serbian government Office for Kosovo Metohija Marko Djuric.

Kosovo police have denied that the four persons arrested in front of the Serbian Orthodox Monastery of Visoki Decani had links to terrorism.

The police also said the group did not attempt to attack the medieval holy place.
